One Friday evening, Claire and Eliza were in the common area in their shared house. All of their flatmates were out, leaving the two of them alone. "HAHAHAHAHAH! OMG this is sooooo funny!" Claire bursted out laughing after viewing an amusing scene in the latest TV series.
"C'mon, will ye please zip it?" snapped the annoyed Eliza, who was busy typing out her essay on 'the major methodological debates within the social sciences', "Can't you see that I'm working here? This is one of my core modules which I can't fail in!"
"Eliza, you've gotta chill!" responded Claire after turning down the volume, "You've already aced your last coursework which was 60% of your mark, and you've got one month before this essay's due. What are you freaking out about?"
"Well, I dunno. It's just that I.....I don't have any inspiration. I mean....I don't like any of the modules I've done so far this year," replied Eliza, after having calmed down a little, "Sorry for shouting at you. I'm just really stressed."
"S'alright," answered Claire, without paying much attention, then, after the episode has ended, she turned off the TV and looked earnestly at her bestie. "All first and seconds years' are like that. The compulsory modules are all really boring, but it's the fundamentals for later years. Same for my Business and Management course last year, urgh.....'Fundamentals of Finance'......what a nightmare!"
Suddenly, Claire's phone rang. After unlocking her screen, Claire discovered that it was a video-call from their boss- Tom. In fact, Claire and Eliza weren't just any ordinary university students, they worked as spies for the Playmobil Secret Spies Organisation (PMSSO).
"Hello ladies, sorry to interrupt your essay-writing, Eliza, but this is very urgent," said Tom through the video-call.
"Oooh Tom, looks like you've refurbished your office," said the eagle-eyed Claire after perceiving the modern new look of Tom's previously old, ugly office.
"Yep, it's great, isn't it? After the government funding came in last month, I've personally designed the new look of my office, so the work started about three weeks ago. I had to temporarily relocate to the warehouse in the meantime, until the refurbishment was finished yesterday. Looks like the wait was completely worth it!" replied Tom as he beamed at the girls.
"Anyways, I didn't call you to discuss about my refurbished office, although it is indeed exceedingly pleasurable to do so," continued Tom, "I called you to introduce to you your new mission. This time, your mission is to investigate the mysterious disappearances of young models in a fashion show tour around the world. The organiser of this fashion show tour was by a company named Bling-bling, and they've already been to London, Paris, Milan, Jakarta, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Now, their next destination is Taipei. In every single destination, a couple of models disappeared mysteriously, to which no one could find out the reason. Your mission this time is to participate in the fashion show located in Taipei, and investigate into this mysterious disappearance, whilst trying to prevent any more from occurring. Your flight to Taipei is early tomorrow, the headquarters will E-mail you the flight details and the e-tickets. In case of any emergencies, do not hesitate to contact the headquarters immediately. Good luck and have fun!"
